Nearing completion in the west
ern Douglas County area is the
ambitious stream-clearance proj
ect involving tributaries of the
Umpqua and Smith Rivers.
The Oregon State Game Commis
sion is spearheading the stream
to restore the spawning beds and
related resource protection values
of the coastal streams.
A total of 18 miles of densely
packed drifts of old timbers and
debris have been removed from
Vincent Creek, Big Creek, Mose-
town Creek, tributary to the Smith
River; and Weatherly, Lutsinger
and Little Paradise Creeks of the
Umpqua.
Several Participate
Jim and Jake Mitchell, opera
tors of Mitchell Bros., logging con
tractors, have the contract with
the Game Commission. Pariticpat
ing in the Umpqua-Smith project
are the U.S. Bureau of Land Man
agement and the International Pa
per Company, owners of the ef
fected land. Participation in the
cost is on a 60-40 basis, with the
Game Commission sharing the ma
jor portion.
Drifts and log jams removed
from the creek beds have, accumu
lated throughout past decades, re
sulting in part from careless log
ging methods of the past, and from
natural blowdown and storm dam
age. The Weatherly Creek project,
involving enormous drifts, is in the
Weatherly Creek timber burn area,
stricken twice in recent decades
by devastating forest fires. The
latest fire occurred in 1951, when
tens of thousands of acres of tim
ber were charred.
Stocking Planned
The rehabilitated spawning
streams will be stocked with salm
on and possibly steelhead and cut
throat, probably next year, in an
effort to restore the normal spawn
ing cycles, Game Department
spokesmen say.
The project has also restored the
scenic values of some of the
streams, such as Weatherly Creek,
where a picturesque canyon had
been piled high with unsighly drift.
The clearance at this point reduced
the fall or drop of the stream flow
from a sheer 40-foot falls from the
edge of the drift to a'aradual 12
feet over a 150-toot stretch of the
stream.
